I can't seem to login while at the forums, as I get an error message. But if I log in at the home page it works. It is pretty inconvenient because I don't always need the home page, and am typically going directly to the forums. Any way around this, and am I the only one?

No, you are not the only one! For right now the only way to login to the forum is through the main PF site, as we now have the one sign in feature for the entire website. The IT guys know that the login button here in the forum isn't working, and it's on the list of bugs to work out. Thanks for your patience!
